Cars

My car passed inspection. I gave it a nice wheel and tire massage. This lavender color was from an iron remover and it smelled god awful. Skunky. I put the bottle in the garage. I have no shed. It stunk up the garage for 3 days. It seems better now. Once I do my wife’s wheels and both our paints, I think I’ll just give this disgusting bottle to a detailer.

Well. I posted those pictures backwards but I really don’t feel like fixing them.

Nice job!

Air bags or …trash!

Now get a spray or air freshener for that new car smell!

Would you buy one of Hertz’s cars? It would have to be pretty cheap.

Same answer as you. If it was cheap, maybe. Most rentals don’t pass the sniff test.

No way.

Toyota is making a plug in hybrid version of their 2021 rav4. It will have 302 horsepower and go from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. It is supposed to cost 39000. It can go 42 miles on an electric charge before going to ICE. if this thing works, bad news for other manufacturers.

Mazda is doing a lot with toyota nowadays. Seems like a good move. Looks like the Japanese with their amazing engines are keeping with hybrids and the germans are going electric.

It’s probably wise for now but they better not lag too much. Pure electric is the future.

The first step in changing your cars tire is to take a knee.

Hyundai is making everything.

I guess it will help prevent people from trying to shift from 6th to 2nd gear all at once. It simply will not allow it.

I honestly don’t see the point to it. If a computer is controlling it anyway, let it shift by itself.

Stick shift is near impossible for me to drive and park. Too much noticeable dead weight and extra effort required.

Taking a turn at 15 mph when I am driving is the equivalent of taking it at 315 mph.

Do you encounter many stick shifts in your job at the parking lot, Mark? I have to admit, I have no interest in stick shifts at all anymore. They are slower than modern automatics, they get worse fuel economy, and they’re more work. It makes no sense to me.

I shouldn’t have to.
